Re: Abiword Translation : UPDATE for the Mandika language of Senegal

Hi Mr Maurer,

Happy New Year to all Abiword dev team members!

Here is an update for the Mandinka language localization, could you
please commit it into the build ?

Could you get back to me about some special characters that are not
showing properly in the Abiword interface? Like the UTF-8 character
U+014A and U+014B which are frequently used in this language.
Is this a known issue, I guess so since you are supporting so many non
latin locale.
Is it possible to fix this ?

Finally, when is the next Abiword official build for Windows scheduled ?

Thanks,

Dominique
